Trekking up to the Knob

For the brave — and stout — of heart, you can hike up to Gobbler’s Knob. The walk up Woodland Ave. is approximately 1.5 miles, but it’s uphill the entire way. It is a strenuous jaunt, especially in inclement weather. Many, however, have found it a great way — weather permitting — to avoid the wait for the buses. There is Handicap accessibility into Gobblers Knob.

At 3 a.m. there is one-way traffic to Gobbler’s Knob begins near Wal-Mart, but — even then —you will not be able to drive to the Knob . Traffic will be redirected back to town before reaching Gobbler’s Knob.

After the prognostication, the buses from the Knob will transport visitors back downtown.

Visitors who parked at Punxsy Plaza will remain on the bus to take them back to that lot.
